22:11 - Hex_Omegaflight, change your title from 'Stamp Tramp' to 'Master Of The Lists'. 15 lists in 4 months, lol

22:02 - mzyeah Neachy. I've been so out of the metal globe for 2.5 months and have checked only 4 albums: Eerie( 2014), that black metal album with red cover form Iceland, desolate shrine and Abyssal Gods. All of them are very good :D

The 55th annual Grammy Awards will be held on Sunday, February 10th, 2013 at Staples Center in Los Angeles. The event will air live on CBS at 8PM ET. Who will take the Grammy this time? Out of all the nominees, only Iron Maiden has previously won a Grammy Award for Best Metal Performance with their 2010 single "El Dorado".

Why are "Th1rt3en" and "Worship Music" in the running when they both came out last year? More importantly, why are the Grammys still trying to placate metalheads? After all, we are the only people who would care about a category like this, not that most of us would care even if they were reasonable, and they seem to go out of their way to make idiotic decisions that do nothing to please the actual fans. I am honestly surprised that they even know who Anthrax are. I predict that Halestorm will win, because they are the most mainstream of all these artists. I love that song, too, but I cannot see any contest here, because it has nothing to do with music so much as social politics. I would wonder why Lamb of God is on here, but it has to be their feeble attempt to appeal to fans of more extreme metal while still keeping it entirely mainstream.

Same names same shit every year, these people do not know shit about metal ... I do not think anyone who listens to metal in general interest who gets this award

Pretty much this. I just wanted to say the same, that the people doing the nominating pretty much don't know anything about metal. They probably just know a small handful of bands, and half the albums make it on the list.

Really? this is the best the grammies can pick? We at metalstorm have had one HELL of a year with all of the amazing new releases, and the most effort the grammies put into the heavy metal awards is nominating megadeth and iron maiden's mediocre new stuff? I think those grammy award snobs ought to come over to metalstorm more often and see what's up

I couldn't agree more. Everytime I see the nominees for the grammies I think I'm reading some kind of joke.

Storm Corrosion for Best Surround Sound Album is the only interesting nomination. Hard Rock/Metal, or at least the latter has always been poorly represented in these all inclusive kind of awards. That's pretty inevitable when they lump the two into one category.

Yeah I doubt many people in the metal community give a shit when it's just the same mainstream garbage every year whilst plenty of great artists go unheard. Though I do thank the Grammys for introducing me to some good bands when I first started getting into metal.

For the record, the only other metal item worth mentioning is Lars Fox, lead singer of the incredible metal band Grotus is nominated for an engineering grammy for his work on Jason Mraz's new album.
So... cheering for him for that.
Wouldn't Mraz making a pretty kick-ass black metal band name?

I hope Lamb Of God wins then Randy Blythe throws Chris Brown off the podium and his head explodes like a ripe melon.

Not a happy thing for you to say, man. Needless to say what the czech fan's family is going through and what Randy will surely go through.
Regarding the nominees, seems like the list was issued by a stiff, suit-and-tie, respectful gentleman who googled "metal". C'mon....Purple was left out. One of the real big 4 (being Sabbath, Zeppelin and Priest the others). Thank god it's this ridiculous. If the choices were a little bit more realistic, someone could actually took them seriously.

Sometimes my negativity makes me happy. I just dont have a lot of respect for misogynists but the jury is still out on whether Chris Brown's melon needs to explode so I'll retract my statement.
